Question

I and Jane found evidence for two types of charge. They called them "Top" and "Bottom" and made a table to indicate how a Top charge would interact with a Bottom charge, how a Top would interact with another Top charge, and how a Bottom charge would interact with another Bottom charge. They tried to determine experiments that would give evidence of a third type of charge. They tried to think about how a third type of charge would interact with the two types of charge they had found so far. Make your own table similar to the one described above. A8. The table you made is really about the forces charged objects exert on each other, so it should be consistent with Newton's 3rd Law. (That is, the force exerted by object 1 on object 2 has the same magnitude and opposite direction of the force exerted by object 2 on object 1) How does the 3rd law manifest itself in your table? If there were additional types of charge, how would you extend your table? Draw the table with an additional type of charge. Can you determine how an additional charge would interact with each of the charges found so far? Can you definitely fill in all of the spaces in the table for an additional type of charge? Can you fill in possibilities for all the spaces in the table consistent with an additional type of charge? How does Newton's 3rd law constrain possible entries in your table? How would an additional type of charge interact with itself?

Answer 1

Solution) There are only two types of charge

(1) positive charge

(2)negative charge

There are only two types of charge (1) positive charge 2)negative charge Bill and Jane found evidence of two types of charge They called them 'Top' and 'Bottom' for our Convenience, let us say 'Top' charge is 'positive(+) charge' 'bottom' charge is 'negative (-) charge we know like charges repd and unlike charges attract when a Top (positive (+) charge) interacts with another Top charge (positive (+) charge) then Repulsion occurs as both are like charges when a Top (positive (+) charge) interacts with bottom charge (negative (-) charge) then attraction occurs as both are unlike charges when a bottom (negative (-) charge) interacts with another bottom charge (negative (-) charge) then repulsion occurs as both are like charges \r\n If there were a third type of charge, then there would not be a positively charged nucleus in atom and there should have been other type of
